I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　Then, a wisp of liquid metal extended from the test tube and quickly connected to Patrick's private terminal. Data began to be rapidly uploaded along the liquid metal to the special circuit of Anti-Entropy.

　That's right, this Patrick, although she is a Rank A Valkyrie of Schicksal and even a member of the Snow Wolf Squad, is actually... a member of Anti-Entropy.

　Just now, she had actually successfully connected to the Tower of Babel's mainframe and copied all the data. The reason she lied to Theresa about the insufficient detection range was simply to take the opportunity to transmit the data to Walter.

　Yes, at the same time that the Honkai energy concentration in Siberia changed, Welt had already arrived in Siberia silently with two scientists from Anti-Entropy and a large number of weapons and equipment.

　"In conclusion, while the newly awakened Second Herrscher has the potential to communicate, it remains questionable whether she stands on the side of humanity. During her Herrscher transformation, a girl named 'Rinma' seems to have played a key role."

　"As for this Suzumo, the database of the Tower of Babylon records her as dead, and it seems that Sirin's transformation into a law occurred right after her death. The reason for mentioning this is that there are more than a dozen records of Suzumo's death in the database of the Tower of Babylon, and the causes of death are all different, which can basically rule out the possibility of the same name or data errors."

　"The specific circumstances still need to be verified by the alliance leader himself."

　After transmitting his summary and data to the special line of Anti-Entropy, Patrick breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ruins ahead.

　"Wait, Theresa? How did you get so deep? The detection range was already sufficient!"

　Chapter 22: It's time to summon a fully-insured, half-armored Bebe Dragon!

　"Haha, interesting, really interesting..."

　On the snowy plains of Siberia, a man wearing a clown mask looked at the terminal in his hand and kept laughing.

　At this point, two full days had passed since Theresa finished investigating the ruins of the Tower of Babel. During this time, the information she sent back about Schicksal naturally fell into Otto's hands.

　"An experimental subject with the ability to resurrect, appearing out of thin air, can also obtain considerable combat power and some strange items through the Holy Mark Space... It's a pity that if she hadn't blocked my way, I would have really wanted to take her to Destiny and train her properly."

　"After all, although the methods were a bit naive, the fact that he could think of escaping from the Tower of Babel and devise a series of plans for it shows that his mental capacity far surpasses that of other test subjects of the same age, and he is even somewhat unlike someone his age."

　"Your Excellency, so you mean..."

　Amber's voice came from the other end of the communication.

　"amber."

　Otto did not answer Amber's question directly: "Siegfried has arrived in Siberia as I ordered and has met up with Theresa, right?"

　"Yes, Lord Bishop."

　Amber replied, "However, since you are in Siberia, why make Siegfried go all the way there?"

　"Because I will not only not take action, but I will also facilitate a secret alliance between him and Walter."

　Beneath Otto's mask, a cryptic and dangerous smile appeared.

　"If things had gone according to plan, our fighting strength in Siberia would have been sufficient to deal with this newly born Second Herrscher."

　"But given the current situation..."

　Otto looked at the documents in his hand: "I really didn't expect this. My plan hasn't even started yet, and heaven has already created a perfect coincidence for me."

　"Siegfried, Welt, Theresa... I wonder if they could defeat a Second Herrscher who has 'turned evil' because of the murder of her beloved?"

　"...Mr. Bishop."

　Amber paused for a moment: "If you're going to implement some plans that I don't know the inside story of, then please make sure you have enough redundancy to prevent things from going wrong."

　"Lady Fu Hua, Lady Cecilia, and the rest of the Snow Wolf Squad are currently on standby at headquarters, if needed..."

　"No, no, no, we don't need that many people right now."

　Otto interrupted Amber directly: "Besides, if so many people really come, even if Miss Sirin goes into overdrive, she'll probably just have to be obediently defeated... How can she then do what I planned, go to the moon to ask the gods for the Herrscher of Death core I need for revenge?"

　"Ugh……"

　Amber sighed on the other end of the communication: "I hope Your Excellency doesn't go too far."

　……

　"Cirin, why have you been gone for longer this time?"

　"I encountered a little boy being surrounded by Honkai Beasts on the road, so I rescued him."

　Xilin said casually, "I didn't ask him where his home was, so I just randomly teleported him to a nearby settlement."

　"You're a pretty nice person."

　"What? Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Even if I wanted to take revenge on fate, I wouldn't take it out on ordinary people."

　Sirin pouted: "Otherwise, why would we have spent two days searching for a place to summon Bella?"

　"Yes, it's not easy to find a remote place with a sufficient concentration of Honkai energy... But are you sure you want to 'revive' Bella?"

　"Well, although I feel a little sorry for the others, with my current abilities, I can only recreate Bella, whom I know best... Even if I chose someone else, I could only create an empty shell."

　"Actually, it's pretty good."

　Lingmo thought for a moment and said, "I remember Bella can cook... which can solve our predicament of only being able to eat cooked food every day."

　"?"

　Sirin looked completely bewildered: "That's a Judgment-level dragon-shaped Honkai Beast! Suzuma, you just want Bella to cook?"

　"Uh... what else?"

　After thinking it over, Lingmo said, "How about we get Bella full insurance and then go to the national highway to start a business?"

　"What kind of twisted idea is that?!"

　Sirin grabbed Lingmo and shook her: "That's a big and handsome dragon, Lingmo, don't you even have the slightest intention of becoming a dragon knight?"

　"Well……"

　Originally, it would have been better if Sirin hadn't said anything. After Sirin said it, Suzumo, whose mind had long been corrupted by the pollution of modern society, quickly thought of the literal meaning of a dragon knight, and further connected it to some strange "secondary creations" about Sirin and Bella.

　Then, she came to a conclusion.

　"Trust me, West 0."

　Lingmo pressed down on Xilin's shoulder in a serious tone: "If you become a dragon knight, it's hard to say whether you'll ride the dragon or the dragon will ride you."

　"Eh?"

　The innocent Sirin naturally didn't understand what Lingmo was talking about: "Does it mean I'm traveling with Bella? Well... although Bella might fly very fast, it certainly doesn't seem as fast as me teleporting here directly..."

　"Well, never mind, let's summon Bella first."

　Although they didn't understand what Suzumo's strange expression meant, after searching for two days, the two did find a good area.

　This area is roughly like a valley, well-hidden, surrounded by no-man's land, and the concentration of Honkai energy is high enough. The only problem is that there are quite a few Honkai Beasts around, but this doesn't affect Sirin much.

　"What needs to be done?"

　Lingmo followed beside Xilin and asked with some curiosity.

　"I'm not too sure either, because the Herrscher Core only records the steps to summon the companion Honkai Beast, without explaining the underlying principles. But in essence, the most time-consuming part of the summoning process is actually gathering a large amount of Honkai energy; the other needs can be met quite easily."

　While controlling the Honkai energy, Sirin took the time to answer Suzuma's questions.

　“However… if Suzumo’s previous guess was correct, then the obstacle we face when summoning Bella is probably not the energy loss itself, but rather…”

　"Destiny or Anti-Entropy drawn by Honkai energy?"

　Lingmo immediately understood what Xilin wanted to say.

　"Yes, that's right, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

　Perhaps because she had consumed a lot of Honkai energy, Sirin shook her head uncomfortably after finishing the preparations: "Even if I'm not in the best condition, we can just run away once Bella is successfully born. Summoning the companion Honkai Beast doesn't take much time, and I won't be unable to free up my hands because of the summoning."

　Chapter 23 Sirin: Don't move around here, I'll go cut down a Walter for you.

　"……coming."

　After completing the preparations for summoning Bebe Dragon, Sirin looked at Bella, who was constantly gathering Honkai energy to form a body, and suddenly murmured to herself.

　"What's coming?"

　Lingmo suddenly perked up: "Destiny or anti-entropy?"

　"I don't know, I just sensed an aura that was somewhat similar to mine..."

　Sirin tried her best to describe her feelings: "It's probably... the feeling of being a kindred spirit?"

　"That's reverse entropy."

　Upon hearing Sirin's words, Suzumo immediately guessed who it was: "The First Herrscher who betrayed the Honkai, and also the leader of Anti-Entropy, Welt."

　"Hmm... So this is what it feels like to be a Herrscher? But why do I feel..."

　Sirin's expression was somewhat strange. If the feeling she was experiencing represented the Herrscher...

　Why did she also feel a similar sensation from Suzumo?

　Could it be because I've been spending too much time with myself?

　"what happened?"

　Seeing the conflicted look on Xilin's face, Lingmo asked curiously.

　"No, it's nothing."

　Without time to think it through, Sirin decisively put the idea out of her mind: "Lingmo, I'm going out to check what's going on. Bella's body hasn't fully formed yet, so I'll trouble you to stay here and keep watch."

　"Let's go together."

　Lingmo stood up: "If it's the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, then he should be considered a good person. It's just that the two of you communicating might easily lead to misunderstandings. To avoid unnecessary trouble..."

　"No."

　Xilin pouted and forcefully pressed Lingmo back down: "Lingmo, you stay here and don't go anywhere."

　"Lingmo's physical strength is so weak. If we really fight, even the aftershocks of the fight could kill you... I don't want to watch you die in front of me, absolutely not!"

　"Well……"

　Looking at Xilin's resolute expression, Lingmo knew that she probably couldn't persuade her otherwise.

　"Alright then... but you have to promise me that even if a fight breaks out, you won't linger in it."

　Lingmo said seriously, "Our current strength is not enough to confront any side head-on, even the relatively weaker Anti-Entropy side. If there is any misunderstanding between you, we will have absolutely no chance of winning."

　"So, we just need to stall for time. Once Bella's body is fully formed, we'll leave immediately. With Bella, I can find a way to take you for a super evolution."

　"Super evolution?"

　Sirin blinked. "What does that mean?"

　I'll tell you later~

　Lingmo's eyes swept towards the full moon in the night sky: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

　……

　"Ain, I have arrived at the designated location."

　On the outskirts of the valley, a man wearing a brown scarf, who looked like he had a story to tell, stood on a high place looking inward.

　“You’re right. This is indeed where the Second Herrscher is hiding, and it is also a place where a large-scale Honkai energy tide is gathered.”

　"Joachim, do not be careless."

　Ai'in's voice came through the communicator: "According to my monitoring, the concentration of Honkai energy in your area is alarmingly high. In fact, there is a high possibility that a Judgment-class Honkai Beast is being bred in the valley in front of you. I don't need to elaborate on the extent of the damage caused by the last appearance of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, do I?"

　"Chi You... then we should indeed be wary."

　As a scholar with a deep understanding of history, Welt Young knew exactly what Ain was referring to: "However, the strength of a companion Honkai Beast is usually linked to the strength of its master. To confirm the situation of that source of danger, we only need to test the strength of the Second Herrscher."

　"If a conflict occurs, be careful not to overstep the bounds. Patrick said that there is a theoretical possibility of winning over the Second Herrscher."

　Aiyin cautioned, "However, if you want to test the Second Herrscher's strength, now is indeed an opportunity."

　"Theresa and Siegfried are on their way to you, and Tesla's silver bullets are ready to go at any time. Theoretically speaking, there is no safer time than now."

　"Don't worry, I'll try to negotiate first. Fighting is only a last resort. Besides, I'm actually more interested in that girl named Suzumo. If I'm not mistaken, her natural stigmata may have already awakened to a very high level."

　As the purple figure drew closer in the distance, Walter adjusted his glasses.

　"And because of the experiments, she might harbor great hostility towards Fate. Although Otto values ​​talent, we've both personally experienced what he'll do to those he can't control. If this girl falls into Otto's hands again, I'm afraid..."

　"It's all up to you, Alliance Leader."

　Ai Yin unusually used a formal form of address: "However, be careful. You must be vigilant about the 'possibility' I mentioned to you before."

　"Ah."
